Honest Abe had a meeting with black leaders following the emancipation proclamation. LINK The link tells the story along with quotes and paints Abe in a very different light, but his comments are very much spot on if you look at movements such as BLM and point from his concerns to what is happening.

It's been said to death, but should never stop being reiterated- the ONLY reperations I am ok with these malcontented sloths being given is a one-way boat ride in a cargo container to Dakar.

Posted this in response to same topic in PT yesterday:

Reparations...the siren song.

I am all for them.

I imagine after giving them credit for minimum wage work, and offsetting capital investment, room, board, healthcare, the lost economic impact caused by all of those killed and wounded in the war that freed them and the TRILLIONS that has already been paid to them via government transfer payments...

Well, let's just say they'll be owing a whole lot of money to white people.

decriminalization of drug-related offenses




All of them? frick that.

A relenting of the war on drugs? Support that.

and prostitution




Support. Stupid that that's criminalized, but that's not just a "black" issue.

Why do you care about other people imbibing in substances or whores to the point of demanding they be criminalized?

the "demilitarization" of police departments




frick that.

Why?



You sounds like a big fan of big goverment. Sad!

---

the U.S. is a country that does not support, protect or preserve Black life




Neither does the black community, unless they are killed by a white cop/person. And as far as reparations go..they don't get enough with free housing, food, medical and obama phones?

---

The Black Community demands that the White Community protect the Black Community from themselves.


RACISM SOLVED!

The truth they don't want to face is that the betterment of black people will have to start from within their own culture. Sure, this doesn't apply to all black people, but to a lot of them doing things like going to school, making good grades, etc aren't "cool" things to do. Improvement will have to start from within. The government can't fix all their problems.

Slaves were owned by only 1.5% of the white population. My ancestors didn't own slaves so these lazy f u c k s can go f u c k themselves.

If this is an attempt to make this "movement" more mainstream/normalized, f them. Typically, in negotiations, each side gives a little. I would love someone to tell me what positive comes out of decriminalizing drug offenses, for example. Putting more thugs back on the streets is a good thing? Tent cities like in Arizona is the way to go. Beds, meals, and job training is what should happen in jails. Period.

This shows a complete lack of self-improvement. They want, but they do not do. Take a class, learn a trade. The financial improvement will follow. I would love to know the color of the sky in the world these people live in.

An estimated 3,000 blacks owned a total of 20,000 black slaves in the year 1860. One study concluded that 28 percent of free blacks owned slaves, which is a far higher percentage than that of free whites who owned slaves.

Well, I guess some blacks will have to pay reparations also.

quote:

---

Blacks were never close to a majority in America, so it's mathematically impossible for most whites to have owned black slaves. At the peak of black slavery in the South, only 6 percent of Southern whites owned slaves. If you include the white people in the North, it means that only 1.4 percent of white Americans owned black slaves at the HEIGHT of slavery.
